That’s hardly dominant. Meanwhile, the Bears D has a huge margin over all of ther D/STs (92 points to 64 points in standard scoring), that the trade might be worth it.

Shazam – I want to apologize to you. I did not mean to apply my comments to the entire Chiefs fanbase, and if that was your perception then I am truly sorry. I live in Oklahoma and am well aware of the quality of Chiefs fans. When I said, “I encourage you to Google his entire comment and take it in—especially if you happen to be a Chiefs fan or broadcast animosity towards any other fellow man.” I only meant that it is especially pertinent to Chiefs fans per the recent story, not because they are particularly worse than any other fanbase.

Marshall – Thank you. I wholeheartedly agree.

larstod – I’m not sure what “every asepct” of Defense means, but I do think the Giants will tighten up. The Rams may be a great defens eto use in stead, but I would be cautious. Maybe carry both for a couple of weeks and play the matchups if you’re able.

Jon – FJax to AZ may be possible, but I would say the Bills also would like an insurance policy since both have been hurt recently. I’m certain that it is awfully tempting to have another #1 when your #1 goes down. Especially since both are on the cheap right now.

Scott – I will never forget Unitas, save some kind of debilitating mental disease. I am not old enough to have seen him play, but I have seen the replays and I have heard the stories. The NFL would not be the exciting passing league is today without Johnny U – and his son’s classy performance will carry his legacy into the future.

Z Bones – Cool name! The Lions are iffy to me right now, but the Texans are nothing but solid. For that reason, I would take Daniels. As for Bolden and Woodhead, I think Bolden has the higher upside. Woodhead is 60 yards and a TD on a fantastic day, we’ve already seen that Bolden is capable of far more than that this year.

Wed, 10 Oct 2012 02:57:23 +0000http://www.fftoday.com/blog/?p=4525#comment-14804I agree about Drew Brees, but would like to make a few other comments about Unitas. I won’t say how old I am, but I saw him play, and I assume most of your site base is younger. For one, there were no dome stadiums back then, so the elements always played a big part. Also, the defensive backs could climb all over the recievers, who were mostly wide bodied monsters with hands. Last, and no offense to Brady fans, roughing the passer almost did not exist back then; you had to do alot more than just get “too close.” Now that his record is broken, Unitas will fade from memory, but he was really something!!

Bills once traded M Lynch away mid-season. Worked out well for both parties. Also, can you believe that Lynch, FJax, and Spiller were once all on the same team? All three top 10 backs if they played for separate teams and got their touches. And that was fresh off losing McGahee… that Bills team knows how to draft RBs.

D Question; thinking of dumping Giants & picking up St Louis D for the remainder…our league has all the FFB points in play for every aspect of Defense performance…Giants under performing? Thoughts!
Thanks

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:02:36 +0000http://www.fftoday.com/blog/?p=4525#comment-14795I echo your sentiments about Drew Brees. For years now, his performance and stellar character have been special, historic gifts on every occasion.

Unfortunately for Bay Area fans, the opportunity to watch him play is all too infrequent. (Seriously, what makes The Powers That Be think that we’d rather see Alex Smith and Carson Palmer? Ugh.) As a result, each Saints game televised out here becomes a treasure to be savored – as we are witnessing history in the making, each and every time.

Joe Montana is the only other quarterback that I’ve held in such high, personal regard, so by my lights Drew Brees is in pretty good company.

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 19:59:54 +0000http://www.fftoday.com/blog/?p=4525#comment-14794It should be noted that your admonishment of the entire Chiefs fanbase is unfair and innaccurate. You have thrown a blanket of shame over all of us for the classless actions of a few. The network media did us no favors editing and reporting, but that is their way. Showing the refuse of fandom sells product.
The overwhelmingly vast majority of Chiefs Nation does not cheer the injury to Matt Cassel. I am one of the many who wanted to see what Brady Quinn could do for us, but I would go as far as to say that any true Chief’s fan would never cheer at ANY player injury. I think those who did are not fans…they are self-involved wretches with no conscience and are unfairly putting their own self-worth on the backs of our boys.
Eric Winston, I believe, spoke from emotion, and understandably so. Whatever he percieved at that moment, I can’t speak to. I can only speak for what I saw.
The Red Sea loves its champions. There is no doubt in this town. Please report fairly and not take what you heard somewhere and report it as fact. Be better than that.

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 18:47:28 +0000http://www.fftoday.com/blog/?p=4525#comment-14789I honestly can’t believe you just said this: The Bears DST should be started at all costs, and at this point I would consider trading someone like Marshawn Lynch or Alfred Morris for them.
